Potential fix for https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-identity-web/security/code-scanning/35

Add ASP.NET Core anti-forgery validation to the POST action by decorating Post with [ValidateAntiForgeryToken].
This is the minimal, targeted fix for the flagged method and does not change business logic.

File/region to change:

  • tests/DevApps/B2CWebAppCallsWebApi/TodoListService/Controllers/TodoListController.cs
  • Around the Post action attributes (currently [HttpPost] and [RequiredScope("write")]).

What is needed:

  • No new imports are required because ValidateAntiForgeryTokenAttribute is in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc, which is already imported.
  • Add one attribute line above Post.

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

Updated
[Microsoft.Identity.Web](https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-identity-web)
from 4.12.2 to 4.14.2.

<details>
<summary>Release notes</summary>

_Sourced from [Microsoft.Identity.Web's
releases](https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-identity-web/releases)._

## 4.14.2

### Dependencies updates
- Bump the `Microsoft.IdentityModel.*` (Wilson) version to 8.22.0. See
[#​3986](AzureAD/microsoft-identity-web#3986).
- Fix the net8.0 crypto floor to use the patched
`System.Security.Cryptography.Xml` 8.0.4 (and its
`System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs` 8.0.1 dependency) instead of
over-bumping to the 9.0.18 servicing line (CVE-2026-47302, -47304,
-50525, -50648). net9.0 (9.0.18) and net10.0 (10.0.10) are unchanged.
See
[#​3989](AzureAD/microsoft-identity-web#3989).

## 4.14.0

## New features
- Add `MicrosoftIdentityOptions.PartitionAppTokenCacheByAudience` to
partition the app token cache by resource/audience. See #​3979.
- Expose MSAL's background token-refresh callback through Id.Web via
`TokenAcquisitionExtensionOptions.OnBackgroundTokenRefreshCompleted`.
See #​3973.
- Add `MicrosoftIdentityOptions.UseFastUnboundedCache`; stop
short-circuiting the in-memory token cache serialization provider. See
#​3970.
- OIDC FIC (`Microsoft.Identity.Web.OidcFIC`) now supports mTLS token
binding. See #​3851.

## Bug fixes
- Token binding: the CCA cache key now distinguishes a bound credential
(`UseBoundCredential = true`) from its unbound equivalent; the
certificate-error retry path invalidates the cache entry for the actual
request mode (bearer vs mTLS PoP).
- Forward the OpenTelemetry tags enricher onto the inner FIC
client-assertion leg. See #​3968.

## Dependencies updates
- `Microsoft.Identity.Client` → 4.87.0 (#​3975)
- `Microsoft.Identity.Abstractions` → 12.6.0 (#​3976)
- `System.Security.Cryptography.Xml` /
`System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs` → patched (CVE-2026-47302, -47304,
-50525, -50648) (#​3964)
- notsecurity group: 1 update (#​3965)
